"I don't really need a duck"

Noon - 4.0 miles @ 7:00+ pace - 28:02.28.  My legs are still a bit tired from Saturdays run.  The SSW wind was a bit cold but nothing severe.

10:53 pm - 4.35 miles @ 7:23 pace - 32:07.40 - It was snowing a bit but was actually quite nice.

Noon - 4.0 miles @ 6:39 pace - 26:37.83 - I felt less tired today and I had a rabbit to try and catch.

11:10pm - 4.35 miles @ 7:18 pace - 31:49.04

Noon - 4.0 miles @ 6:41 pace - 26:46.32 - Warm (Tech-T, sleeves and shorts).  This was another unintentional marathon paced run.   I am definately having an improved week over last week

10:43pm - 7.25 miles @ 7:28 pace - 54:14.08 - A nice calm, cool night.

Noon - 4.0 miles @ 6:59 pace - 27:57.32 - Had a brisk SSW wind ushering in a new storm.

4:15pm - 7.25 miles @ 7:05 pace - 51:28.27 - I wet from head to toe by the end of this one.  It rained nearly the entire time but actually felt pretty ok.

5:30 pm - 4.35 miles @ 6:58 pace - 30:20.57 - Time to break in a new pair of Crocs.  My long second toes (especially on my left foot) are not going to like this.  This run was faster than I thought it was going to be.

7:30 am - 16.70 miles - A much more fantastic run with Sasha than two weeks ago (I have been more consistent with my training the last two weeks).  Dispite having a rather upset 2nd toe - and it being 18 deg to start - this run went rather well.  We started off the run with a 4+ mile jog up Provo Canyon and then started our tempo run (Sasha does 6 continuous - I do 4 total 1.5 - 0.25 rest - 1.0 - 0.25 rest - 1.5).  The first 1.5 went 83.62, 85.00, 83.22, 84.80, 85.45, 84.40 for a total of 8:26.29 and an average mile pace of 5:37.  The 1.0 (uphill and into a strong wind) went 97.14, 94.32, 97.98 and 98.15 for total of 6:27.35.  The second 1.5 went 84.24, 87.70, 87.83, 87.37, 87.38, and 87.67 for a total of 8:42.11 and an average mile pace of 5:48.  We jogged back to Sasha's house and did 6 more miles with the kids (one of which was at 6:52 pace with Benjamin).  As per usual this was done with zero fuel or hydration.  As a side note I do believe I will be losing a toe nail.
